LuminousAphid Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 according to reports, the new attraction, which will be coming to Rincon de la Victoria in Spain, will be called “La Comarca,” which translates as “The Shire.” http://nerdist.com/middle-earth-theme-park-the-shire-announced-as-coming-to-spain/ I somehow missed this annoucement, and at first I was excited to see what's going to happen with this. I am not a die-hard Tolkien fan or anything, but I have always liked the books ever since I read The Hobbit in elementary (or "primary") school, and I felt like this could be really awesome... Reading further though, it could also turn into an absolute disaster, and with a $2 million budget, I don't see it being anything worth travelling to Europe for. How are they going to do anything but make a nice walking garden for $2 million? I don't even think you could get plans and permits for a 20-acre park here in the U.S. for $2 million (okay maybe a private co. could, but that's not a lot of cash these days) from http://goo.gl/zi76ET "At the council, representatives stated that the park would only be based on "the magic of fairy tales, fantasy, elves, which are universally known and do not belong to any author." Oh man, the more I read, the more this looks like an approaching trainwreck. Or it just might never go anywhere, which may be the better option. Discuss. (I did notice the word filter replacement before posting, but I don't care, it's funnier that way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
